[Intro]And all I remember is your backWalking towards the airport leaving us all in your pastI traveled 1,500 miles to see youBegged you to want meBut you didn't want to

[Chorus]But piece by piece you collected meUp off the ground but you abandoned thingsAnd piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in meAt six years old and noHe never walks awayHe never asks for moneyHe takes care of meHe loves mePiece by pieceHe restored my faithThat a man can be kindAnd a father could stay

[Verse 1]And all of your words fall flatI made something of myself and now you wanna come backBut your love isn't freeIt has to be earnedBack then I didn't have anything you neededSo, I was worthless

[Chorus]But piece by piece you collected meUp off the ground but you abandoned thingsAnd piece by piece you filled the holes that you burned in meAt six years old and noHe never walks awayHe never asks for moneyHe takes care of meHe loves mePiece by pieceHe restored my faithThat a man can be kindAnd a father could stay

[Hook]Piece by piece...

[Verse 2]Piece by piece I fell far from the treeI would never leave her like you left meShe will never have to wonder her worthBecause unlike you I'm gonna put her firstHe'll never walk awayHe'll never break her heartHe'll take care of thingsHe'll love herPiece by pieceHe restored my faithThat a man can be kindAnd a father should be great
